Liability for Defective Products (Product Liability)
Gajdoš, Adam ; Švestka, Jiří (referee) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
114 Resume - Liability for Defective Products (Product Liability) This study deals with the subject of product liability law. This is a growing area in which manufacturers and suppliers are finding themselves more and more responsible for the quality of their products and for the consequences flowing from any defects therein. There is a growing amount of litigation throughout the world tackling the problems arising from the safety of products. These laws take into account the manufacturing process, the transportation, storage and delivery of goods, the intended use of products, their fitness for such purpose, and any warning or instructions as to use given to consumers and end- users. Injuries caused by products began to give rise to serious policy concerns in the second half of the 20th century, when the combined effect of increasingly sophisticated consumer products automated large-scale production processes and modern distribution chains left the end-user in a difficult position. The end-user was purchasing a product not from the manufacturer directly, but from a retailer who might stand a number of steps away from the manufacturer in the distribution chain. The complex processes of product development and manufacture were internal to the manufacturer and thus unknown to the end-user and probably to the...

The statute of domestic servants in Prague's middle class households in the turn od the 20th century. Identity, social mobility and the way of their lives
Machková Prajzová, Naděžda ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Macková, Marie (referee)
This thesis deals with the social group of domestic servants, concretely with the maids in Prague's households at the turn of the 20th century (untill the twenties). The servants were the integrant part of the households until the recent times. This social group appeared in various kinds of forms, in various kinds of roles and settings. To have the servants was the symbol for beeing a part of prestigious level of the society. The reasons for keeping the servants could, however, be also pragmatic for many not so rich households - there was a need of employment, resp. ocupation for all the adult members of those families in the (family) trade or farming. The second half of the 19th century is the time of big changes for this social group. The progressive industrialization and the modernization and the urbanization of the society lead to the falling of traditional form of the self-supporting family, further to the restriction of the working load for women and also to the lesser need of the family servants. The domestic servant demand started to be determinated with the social status instead of the economic situation of the family. This demand defines the Maid and also her new duties. There was about one third of the Czech households and one half of the German ones in Prague keeping a housemaid around 1900....

Electronic support for learning. Use of the multiple steps e-learning concept in medical biophysics
Nosek, Tomáš ; Hanuš, Josef (advisor) ; Bolek, Lukáš (referee) ; Kolářová, Hana (referee)
Electronic support for learning -Use of the multiple steps e-learning concept in medical biophysics The aim of our work was to create and test a new concept of education based on modern e-learning methods. It should respond to our needs of higher individualization of education in terms of time, content and place. We named it the MSL concept - the Multiple Steps Learning concept. In the spirit of our concept we created three courses in LMS Moodle as support of practical education in Medical Biophysics. We started a pilot project to test the quality of the courses and their impact on knowledge of students. For evaluation of the courses we used our own modification of eLSE methodology. To test the impact on knowledge we compared the results of end-term tests between subsequent years - the education with and without e-learning support. The results of our pilot project show clearly that we created good quality courses. However, the impact of the new method on knowledge is not clear. According to the collected data the difference between both methods of education is not statistically significant but we experienced some serious problems during data acquisition and that is why the validity of the data is at least disputable. These problems gave rise to a new methodology of gained knowledge comparison which was an...

The analysis consists of corporate strategy and searching for the way how IT can support business and how to be in alignment. Two types of companies are included. First type is company that built up business model based on IT/ICT strategy. The other type includes companies that are running business for longer time and new IT/ICT strategy deployment or better alignment between strategies brought improvement and better market position. The paper includes basic model representing strategic management that is presented at the end. This gives an overview to all readers how the process goes from corporate and information strategy to application portfolio.

Major Topics in the Works of Christina Rossetti and Dante Gabriel Rossett
Doležalová, Martina ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee) ; Grmelová, Anna (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the most significant topics in the works of Gabriel Rossetti and Christina Rossetti, members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, formed in the Victorian era, who were influenced by the aesthetics of the movement and also by the subsiding Romanticism. This study discusses such characteristically Pre-Raphaelite topics in the poems of both authors as unfulfilled love related to the death of a young beautiful woman, or the anticipation of death and doom. Some more modern and provocative themes, such as prostitution, women rivalry and the role of woman in Victorian society are also examined. The thesis claims that the oeuvres of both authors were, to some extent, affected by their lives and their distinctive attitudes, often diametrically diverse, which is mostly palpable in their contradictory perception of religion, faith and redemption as shown in the collections The House of Life and Monna Innominata. The thesis also offers a comparison of Gabriel's well-known artistic production with his less renowned literary output, highly valued by himself and closely connected with his paintings. One of the ambitions of this study is also an attempt to present Gabriel's poetry from an angle which would show that it is as engaging as his artistic creation, but - unlike his sister's - has not yet...

Slope stability calculations for small dams
Hajda, Jindřich ; Hodák,, Jiří (referee) ; Říha, Jaromír (advisor)
There are approximately 20 000 small dams in the Czech Republic. This number entails many ponds or small flood attenuation reservoirs, which provide protection against floods. We do not know much about the structure and material properties of these earth dikes. Concerning the small dam stability the current technical standard ČSN 75 2410 focuses foremost on the angle of both the upstream and downstream slopes in case of different materials, and the method of the stability assessment in case of a dam height being 6m or more. Most of these earth dikes are still standing in spite not being built according to any technical standards. They do not follow any standards mostly because they were built before the modern technical standards were published. This diploma thesis focuses on assigning the degree of a reserve in the safety factor for studies of 5 homogeneous earth dikes and 3 inhomogeneous earth dikes. The calculation was done using the Plaxis 2D software using to the shear strength reduction method. The Calculation of the safety degree is made for 4 typical load cases.
